This bug was fixed in the package base-files - 9.4ubuntu4.11
---------------
base-files (9.4ubuntu4.11) xenial; urgency=medium
* update-motd.d/50-motd-news: add cloud_id to user-agent string
(LP: #1840946)
* d/postinst.in, d/postrm: add missing dh_systemd_enable pieces. This
completes the fix for LP #1637800
* d/postinst.in: do not start the motd-news.service, as it won't be
in an enabled state anyway, and the timer will run it when needed. This
addresses the motd-news.service bit in comment #19 of #1637800.
base-files (9.4ubuntu4.10) xenial; urgency=medium
* Fix syntax error in new base-files postinst code. LP: #1836236.
base-files (9.4ubuntu4.9) xenial; urgency=medium
* Backport /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news, along with the systemd units
that are used to keep the local cache file up-to-date. LP: #1637800
